So here it is mid-September, and my tomato plants are loaded with green tomatoes. More than they had all season. The Big Beef and Kellogg's Breakfast have been cracking so bad, I have only gotten ripe tomatoes by picking them just past green and ripening them inside on the counter. Three other heirlooms I planted on a whim, I haven't gotten a ripe tomato off of, due to cracking and rotting on the vine. Well, maybe one tomato, early on.
What do you find works best for saving the green tomatoes at the end of the season? In the past, I have wrapped them in newspaper, placed in boxes single layer, placed under the bed and found them months later all rotted. Clearly that is not a good method for me.
I don't care much for pickles and relishes, so green tomato relish is not something I would want to bother with.
Any ideas? This is the best "crop" of tomatoes all season. so I hate to just let them rot.
